The Compromised Church

Though many observers believe the evangelical church is still going strong, some are concerned that it is in dire need of theological reformation and spiritual renewal. These thought-provoking essays from some of evangelicalism's leading voices deal with the present state of the Christian church, particularly in the areas of ecclesiology, worship, and doctrine. They discuss the evangelical church's perspective on its traditions, worship practices, and theology. They also explore what kind of biblical understanding is reflected in the typical church's liturgy, how today's church relates to its culture, in what ways the church may have compromised itself in ecclesiological matters, and how to respond to those concerns in light of scripture and church history. - Jacket flap.
